Question: are there any reports of intermittent lack of audio on media playback? For example about 33% of the time I play a youtube clip using inputstream.adaptive, the video plays back but there is no audio. I can stop and restart the same clip and the audio will work. I'm running a NUC7i5BNK with v54 bois and 1.72 hdmi firmware on #1106 presently. I can generate a debug log in the next day or so if it would help.Thanks

To completely disable SMB1, go to Kodi > Settings > Services > SMB client, and set "Minimum protocol version" to SMB2 (which in LibreELEC will mean SMB2_10 is used as the minimum protocol that can be negotiated). This will ensure the client only negotiates SMB2_10 or better connections.

The "Use legacy security" option is enabled when "Maximum protocol version" is set to SMB1, and disables the NTLMv2 and spnego security features, weakening security but ensuring a working connection with outdated Samba servers that are still, sadly, being shipped in current devices (ie. ASUS routers). Needless to say don't enable this option unless you need it.

I don't know where you're getting those LibreELEC changes from - there were zero LibreELEC changes between #0930 and #1001. The version of mesa (17.2.1) is the same in both #0930 and #1001.

I've just extracted the contents of the #0930 and #1001 tar files (the tar files include all of the changes relevant to each build) and compared them, file by file, change by change, and the only changes are as documented in the #1001 release notes.

There were very few changes in the #1001 build, and it's not at all obvious why any of the changes would have this kind of effect (or why it's only your hardware/setup that is affected).

does anyone have a clue what is causing that bug? any help is appreciated.

Are you by any chance running LibreELEC in a VM?

Can you run a MemTest86+ check just to make sure your RAM is OK, and not failing?

Quote:@winux: Also, can you test #1001 once more, as it makes no sense for it to be causing a problem.

you are absolutly right! totally my fault. i do not know what i messed up there but i just testet #1001 and it is indeed working. fonts are there.
i'm working my way up now as we speak. #1002, #1003 #1004 are also working.

no i'm not running a vm. it's a native install. i'm running behind grub though. (dual boot setup)
i'm using your builds for a very long time and i never had a problem.

will post again in a couple mins as soon as i found the build that is causing the bug. sorry again -.-

It would be worth confirming the behaviour of later builds as many problems emanating from PR12841 were fixed in subsequent builds up to about #1011. Also, missing fonts were an issue on RPi however the fonts would appear once the "Dim" screensaver had been started, so testing the "Dim" screensaver might provide another data point in case the issue is related. And the green screen problem could be solved by disabling hardware acceleration.

The next step would be to open a ticket on trac.kodi.tv for the attention of @FernetMenta, providing details of your testing.

ok, thank you very much for pinpointing this. i will open a ticket as soon as i'm through all the builds to #1011 ( can't find 1011 so i will test to #1012)

my screensaver mode was set to "blank" for ages so i switched it back to "dim" and set a waiting time of 1 min for it to autotrigger. (did this while being on build #1004, because i can't navigate through the ui without being able to read anything)

#1007 booted up fine, fonts gone though. i waited a min for the screensaver "dim" function to trigger and it did but it didn't help. fonts are not appearing ( i let the screensaver function trigger a couple times to be sure )

i'm now on #1012 but it doesn't make a difference. the fonts are gone

i will write a ticket but i wanna get some logs out before doing so.
any suggestions what versions to pick for the logs ?? i will do a logdump on #1004 since it's the last working one, i'm just not sure wich version to pick for the later ones. straight #1005?

Yeah, tricky. I'd post logs from #1004, #1005, which is the before/after, and then whatever the latest is (currently #1119) which shows no subsequent improvement, then take guidance from fernetmenta.

@laric @pacoma2610 @debutanker @utiltiy
could you please test if IR remote repeating is fixed in build 1120? It contains an updated upstream fix that should make it work identical to previous builds with kernel 4.13.
